laravel 的where方法里为什么不支持 between

目前用的laravel9 还是不支持

where(field,'between',[1,2])

这种方式吗，在做页面的搜索查询时，如果使用查询构造器的方式取查的话需要写好多if做判断然后链接查询语句，请问有其他更好的办法吗

我的代码类似于这样

$where = [];
        $where['application_name'] = $this->request->input('application_name', '');
        $where['username'] = $this->request->input('username', '');
        $where['url'] = $this->request->input('url', '');
        $where['ip'] = $this->request->input('ip', '');
        $where['type'] = $this->request->input('type', '');

        $created_at_start = $this->request->input('created_at_start', '');
        $created_at_end = $this->request->input('created_at_end', '');

        $where['created_at'] = ['between', [$created_at_start, $created_at_end]];

        $order = $this->request->input('order', '');
        $sort = $this->request->input('sort', '');

        $field = ['log' => ['id', 'application_name', 'username', 'url', 'ip', 'type', 'created_at']];
        $order_by = ['field' => ($sort && $order) ? $sort : 'id', 'sort' => $order];
        $res = \Modules\Admin\Http\Service\LogService::list($where, $field, $order_by, $limit, $page);

其实我这代码是后台生成的，不太想用其他包取解决这个问题，目前是用的笨方法解决的，代码生成时不用考虑太多，ide也有代码提示，方便后面手动更改

/**
 * @param $model
 * @param $data
 * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
 */
function formatWhere($model, $data)
{
    foreach ($data as $k => $v) {
        if (is_array($v) && ((is_array($v[1]) && $v[1][0] !== null) || (!is_array($v[1]) && $v[1] !== null))) {
            $field = strtolower($v[0]);
            switch ($field) {
                case 'like':
                    $model = $model->where($k, 'sounds like', '%' . $v[1] . '%');
                    break;
                case 'between':
                    $model = $model->whereBetween($k, $v[1]);
                    break;
                case 'not between':
                    $model = $model->whereNotBetween($k, $v[1]);
                    break;
                case 'in':
                    $model = $model->whereIn($k, $v[1]);
                    break;
                case 'not in':
                    $model = $model->whereNotIn($k, $v[1]);
                    break;
            }
        } else {
            if ($v !== null) {
                $model = $model->where($k, '=', $v);
            }
        }
    }
    return $model;
}

public static function indexList($where, $field, $order_by, $limit, $page)
    {
        try {
            $res = formatWhere(new \Modules\Admin\Entities\Log,$where)->orderBy($order_by['field'], $order_by['sort'])
                ->paginate($perPage = $limit, $field['log'], 'page', $page)->toArray();

            return ['rows' => $res['data'], 'total' => $res['total']];
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            self::validationException($e->getMessage());
        }
    }
